BAKER CONSIDER THIS AS NOTABLE
Reinhard Mohn (Mohn is the German word for poppy) has been a former lieutenant of the German Air Force during WW2. In 1943 he has been held in captivity of the US Army. The reason is unclear, USfags might find out more about this, but Germans don't have any open source records on this topic. He was detained at "Camp Concordia" in Kansas. In 1946 he returned to Germany and acquired the CEO position of the Bertelsmann company. In Germany's business environment he's been called "The red poppy". The company is one of the world's largest mass media companies. He got married a 2nd time to one of his assistants, called Liz.
After his death in 2009 Liz obtained most of the companies shares.
Some people in Germany call her "just for fun" black widow. It has dozens of subsidiaries and most of them are headed by one of his sons or daughters. Just to give you a taste of how much control of the narrative they have: Almost 98% of all books in schools or universities have been published by Bertelsmann or one of its subsidiary.
The Bertelsmann Stiftung (Stiftung = foundation) is being led by Aart De Geus, former Dutch minister of labor and social affairs.
Since 2008, the Bertelsmann Stiftung has also been represented in US-capital Washington, D.C, by a second independent foundation, the Bertelsmann Foundation North America, which addresses challenges relating to transatlantic partnerships.
Just read the criticism written on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertelsmann_Stiftung
One of his sons Christoph Mohn has led Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG) from 1992 - 1994 in New York. From 1994 - 1996 he worked for McKinsey as Advisor for Telecommunications. Later he became CEO of Lycos Europe, which was a coalition of the US based Lycos Inc. and the Bertelsmann Corp.
They also own the 56th Street Random House Tower in Manhattan (New York).
After obtaining Random House, they basically took over the education system in the US as well.
That's why so many transatlantic commissions, foundations and companies have been funded. There are basically shitloads of companies who have been obtained by this family. It's too much to name them all.
Just get into the Wiki of Bertelsmann and you'll end up reading 5 days of connections into politics, hollywood, mass media and shit.
They are literally everywhere. Links to health care, child poverty etc. etc.

^^^^^^^^
This wiki page is definitely the most important one since it shows many of their connections.
NOTE that Carl Bertelsmann has been the founder of the company in 1835 up until today it is headed by the Bertelsmann family.
